Mike Jones Poet Fibonacci

Tide

The sea breathes
Gently in and out,
It seems to sigh upon the breeze.

Waves sparkle
Like liquid silver,
Dappled diamonds on restless swell;

Advancing
Gently up the shore,
Relentless, driven by the moon.

Aromas
Of rich dark seaweed,
Distinctive halogenic nose.

White egret
In rock pool dipping
While oystercatchers scream on by.

Eternal tide,
Pumping in and out
Like measured concertina strokes.

Mesmeric.
I could watch for hours,
Lost in timeless fascination.

Kp Nunez April 22, 2015 at 6:16 AM Loved this write set on my most favorite place. Beautiful. Can be a metaphor too. In itself though, it is already a very powerful image. A 7. PS. Maybe you'd like to double check the form for this? Mike Jones April 22, 2015 at 9:35 AM Thanks for your comment Kim. Regarding form, it is a variation on the Fibonacci which I have developed. It is a verse form with 3,5, 8 syllables in each verse (so the first 3 numbers in the series are omitted).
